MAYA'S ADOPTION JOURNEY

WELCOME TO MY JOURNEY TO BRING MY DAUGHTER, MAYA GRACE HOME FROM GUATEMALA. DURING THIS JOURNEY I HAVE STUMBLED OVER MANY MOUNTAINS ONLY TO BUILD MY FAITH. THIS HAS BEEN ONE OF THE HARDEST JOURNEY'S OF MY LIFE AND IT HAS THE GREATEST PRIZE AT THE END. I CAN'T WAIT FOR THEM TO PLACE MY DAUGHTER IN MY ARMS FOREVER. MY DREAMS WILL THEN BE REALITY!!!

A REPEAT ALL OVER AGAIN!!!

PLEASE DON'T MAKE MY MOMMY SAD, JUST SWAB MY MOUTH SOON!!!
WELL, THIS PROCESS IS BEGINNING TO LOOK LIKE A REPEAT OF THE LAST. WHEN I WAS IN GUATEMALA 2 AND 1/2 WEEKS AGO I WAS TOLD THAT THE DNA AND SWI WOULD BE DONE THE NEXT WEEK, WELL GUESS WHAT??? IT WASN'T!!! WHAT A SHOCKING EVENT. SINCE TODAY IS A HOLIDAY IN GUATEMALA I AM ASSUMING THAT NOTHING WILL BE DONE THE REST OF THE WEEK. AS FAR AS I KNOW WE DON'T EVEN HAVE AUTHORIZATION. I AM REALLY GETTING ANGRY WITH THIS ENTIRE PROCESS. ALL OF MY DOCUMENTS ARE DONE AND JUST SITTING THERE. SOME OF MY DOCUMENTS KEEP GETTING "LOST" AND I HAVE REDONE THEM SEVERAL TIMES. I GUESS THEY HAVE A HUNGRY DOG THAT EATS MY HOMEWORK. THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR THIS DELAY!!! I SEE DNA'S BEING DONE WHEN THE BABIES ARE A LOT YOUNGER THAN MAYA. THE DIRECTOR OF MY AGENCY HAS BEEN TRYING TO CONTACT THE LAWYER AND SHE IS BEING IGNORED. WHAT IS THE DEAL????? THEY WANT YOUR MONEY UP FRONT AND THEN THEY DO NOTHING. THERE NEEDS TO BE DIFFERENT WAY TO DO THIS ADOPTION THING. THE RATE I AM GOING MAYA WILL BE READY TO GO TO COLLEGE BEFORE SHE BECOMES AN AMERICAN. I AM AFRAID THAT VISITING MAYA AND LOOKING AT HER BEAUTIFUL FACE EVERYDAY IS GIVING ME FALSE HOPE. I AM BEGINNING TO WONDER IF I WILL EVER BE A MOMMY!@!@!@!@!!!! I HOPE TO BE HOLDING MAYA IN 49 MORE DAYS.

    The love you have for Maya is but a drop in a bucket of the love that God has for you and Maya both. He has a plan for both of you and it is a good plan. Guatemala is a place unlike any. Things are just different there. We have NO CONTROL. In America - we at least have a little control.

    God sees your heart and knows your pain. He is holding Msaya until you can. I am praying for you and your case. Trust that God is moving on your behalf - even if it does not look like it. He is working behind the scenes - we have to know that as believers.
    Adoption is great big ole leap of faith with no promises -
    But God has made lots of promises to us. And he never breaks his.
    I hurt with you and I an standing with you and I know God will see you through this

    Love,

    Julia

    I am sorry you have to go through this. I took 4 months to get Sophie's bm in for DNA. We had a mathc, and now they wath another interview, and she wont come in, Luke's case was a breeze (11 month breeze) but it happened. Maya & Sophie will be home! I hate to see you have to suffer, I dont' rmemebr have the suffering to get Luke home (even battling the Embassy). It's worht you, you're meant to be a mom!

    I would agree with everything Julia wrote so I won't write it again.

    This journey is the hardest thing I know I've ever gone thru. But you just have to rely on God. He has your and your daughters best interest at heart. He will take care of both of you. Keep your faith.

    Oh Ginger...the road you have been asked to walk has been especially difficult and you may never know why. If it gives you any hope, it took 3 1/2 months for us to have DNA done and we pick up Emilee next Monday, just under 8 months total for our process. Adoption is definitely NOT for the faint of heart, but what joy there will be when you bring Maya home!!!((HUGS to you))

    You WILL get Maya home. I am so sad that you are stuck waiting. I think pre adopters have no control over these things. I never really got it (and it did kind of make me frustrated when said) but I think there is some truth in 'adoption is a leap of faith'. I think we all have to just keep hoping and praying and keeping our love alive for the children. Thinking about you and praying for you!

    (Another) cute dress! Whata cutie she is.

    It seems as though when we lose hope and start despairing, we get news (not sure why, but I am appreciate that LOL)
    So hold on, I bet for EXCELLENT news this week ;)
